I recently set up an LND node on my Start9 and have been using the terminal to interact with it. To make things easier, I run export LNCLI_RPCSERVER=<lnd-ip>:10009 so I don’t have to type --rpcserver=lnd.embassy every time.
When I try to create a new seed or restore from an existing one, I get this error:
[lncli] unable to generate seed: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = wallet already unlocked, WalletUnlocker service is no longer available
Could you help me understand what’s causing the error and how to resolve it? Also, how can I access the LND config file and logs directly from the terminal?
I’m still learning and trying to get comfortable working with Start9 through the terminal. Any guidance would be really helpful.
If you’d like to manipulate LND manually, create and manage your own seeds rather than using StartOS features, I’d recommend installing Debian or Fedora and setting up LND there. There’s no reason at all to run LND in StartOS if you want to fight against every UX shortcut StartOS provides by going your own way.
Access to configuration options are via Services → LND → Config
StartOS is designed for non-technical users to be able to run services with the precision and ease that technical users can. If you’re already technically proficient, you might not be the target audience and our very opinionated setup might just get in your way.
